SUNDAYS STORM.

Snow began falling here about dark on
Saturday evening and kept coming till late
the next day. 1t amounted to ten inches
or foot, and with what was before on
the ground made, probably, not less than
three feet in the woods. Fortunately the
wind did not blow; if it had travel would
have been seriously impeded. As it was
the roads were bad enough, in spots.
Toward Cornwall they seem to have been
worst. 1t was IL o'clock Monday be-
fore Mr.. Bingham, the mail carrier. who
left West Cornwall at I 80, got here, as
he had to wait for the shovelers to dig
path in places. In Canada and in East
ern New York trains We're much delayed.
These dispatches will show the situation
elsewhere in Vermont:
BURLINGTON, VT, March 6.-About II
inches of snow fell last night and to-day
and the early morning trains were one
and two hours late.
BRATTLEBORO, VT, March G.-Fifteen
inches of snow have fallen here to-day,
being more than in any one storm during
the winter. Many towns report the same
amount, though reports from Windsor
county and from towns further north
show that the storm was less severe.
BURLINGTON, VT, March Z. All trains
have been badly delayed by snow to-day,
early trains finding drifts eight and ten
feet high. The snow is just damp enough
to pack hard, and railroad men say it
was the worst storm of the winter in this
vicinity.

THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-,


The last session of the 10Th Congress
closed on Friday, March 4. 1t accom-
plished good deal of work. as will be
seen by the record elsewhere given.
Among the important measures that be-
came laws during its sessions were those
regulating the presidential succession,
the oleomargarine act, the interstate
commerce act. the tenure-of-oflice repeal
act, the Edmunds-Tucker anti-Mormon
law, the Mexican pension act, the law
establishing agricultural experiment sta
tions and the act regulating the count of
electoral votes.
But there were many other bills that
ought to have become laws. Why more
was not effected is thus explained by
Hon. j. w. Stewart in an interview pub
lished in the New York Mail and Ex-
press:
This session of Congress has dalled
along at cross purposes under the domi-
nance of Democratic majority in the
House and accomplished little. The
House has "A iunta of members who con-
troll and thwart the will of majority. |
refer to the three members of the COM
mittee on rules, Messrs. Carlisle, Randall
and Morrison. These three men have
prevented the consideration and passage
OF he education bill, when two-thirds of
the members are in favor of it. You see
how progress has been hampered.

HENRY WARD BEECHER.

One of the leaders of American thought
in critical period of the country's his
tory is taken away by the death of the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, which oc-
Cured in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning.
He was stricken with apoplexy on the
afternoon of Friday last and lay in an
unconscious state till death came.
Mr.. Beecher was descended from Puri-
tan stock, the first ancestor in this cOun-
try coming with the New Haven colony
in 1888. He was the third son of DR..
Lyman Beecher and was born at Litch-
field, Conn.,, June "a, 1913; was educated
at Amherst college, graduating there in
1884, and at the Lane Theological sem
mary. His first charge was the Presby-
terian church at Lawrenceburg, Ind. In
October, 1s47, began his pastorate of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn.
To speak in detail of the manifold do
ings of his long and active life would
require volume almost. He was fore
most among those who fought with
